The synthesis and liquid crystalline properties of new dimers with triphenylene donor (D) core tethered via a flexible spacer to a monofunctionalized anthraquinone acceptor (A) core, DA, are reported. These dimers have hydroxyl (DA (OH)) or acetyloxy (DA (OAc)) functional group. The linear trimers, DAD, are also reported here. The chemical structures of these dimers and trimers are characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis. The ...
